@lizardsquid it's a bit unconventional but I'd say even Blender could work
@grainloom oh? how would you use that for a map?
@lizardsquid if you can use its more advanced features, you can automate some of the layout
In my experience, Blender has much better tools for handling precise geometry and it has its modifiers (and other similar systems). AFAIK Inkscape doesn't have that.
Also, a mesh can store any simple graph, while Inkscape's curves can only be paths. (in the graph sense)
Disclaimer: I have waaay more experience with Blender, so Inkscape might have some hidden power I don't know of.
@LottieVixen I've been just working my way through the blender wikibook
